Regarding the update on this breaking news, is the takeaway from Stewart backpeddling potential proof that Rowlings now has at least one Jewish friend or is her Twitter/PR mafia so powerful he was literally threatened into making an additional statement? Because, I’m not sure how else one dives to the conclusion that…

Are you... me? Because damn, dude, twinsies.

Both, but one is more honest about it. That you consider yourself good and decent may be the problem. If you see a pattern of behavior in regards to how others react to you is still blaming them really the realistic and beneficial way to view the situation? Saying that women “only” do this or “never” do that is…

The headlines and quick takes of this comment he made have made it sound like he ripped and teared comic movies apart, when his statement seems to be pretty innocuous. They are mostly cut and paste (but then so is most media). He’s barely applying a judgement to that really and comes right around and says that big…

I’m a guy and any guy who tells me (unironically certainly) that he’s a “good guy’ is immediately tagged as an asshat. A person can shout to the world how great they are, but really if you were that thing you’re probably too busy doing it to brag about it. I see a lot of stuff in these comments that hits home for me.…

If you build the shed like I do, then actually with alarming frequency.

I think it worked because we just wanted it to be real. Now that Harlan’s gone, some of us need new cranky writer role models.

I was probably about 35 or so before a clinical professional suggested I had a quite serious case of ADHD. I can’t even cleanly define it (a mix of all the things mentioned here), but I do know that too much of my life was a fiery wreck of terrible social encounters (my fault. I’m so weird), terrible work experiences,…

Depression and anxiety, as noted in the text, are very common bed mates with ADHD, so the doc giving you something for depression isn’t exactly a left field idea and, in fact, probably good sense. 

I’ve badly burned out a few times in my life, usually related to a mix of depression/anxiety and general frustration mixed with other things (not knowing I had a rather hefty case of ADHD for the bulk of my life didn’t help). But cynical is something I’ve always been. I’ll never actually like my day job, because I got…

So, ahm... when the windshield is covered in ash and the pilot opens the side window for visibility, are you saying the pilot is literally sticking their head out the window to see while steering or what? Somewhere along the words, I lost comprehension skills. 

“Sadly, McKenzie isn’t on Twitter, so fans can’t start a Twitter campaign to get him to finally give us a proper Flight Of The Conchords reunion”

Yep. I really like this film. Definitely the only Predator-involved movie past the first that I consider worth a damn (note I haven’t seen the last one). Adrian Brody was great in King Kong and this was still in that nerd action hero phase we had back then. I liked the whole premise really and think it could have…

This is a huge point escaping much of the media, like CCN and the NYT as well. They want to believe those animals committing high treason at the behest of a dictator-wannabe were dumb hicks from Appalachia. They weren’t. They were from all over. Lawyers, doctors, business people, IT workers... As someone from WV, I’d…

True to form, they really will throw anyone under the bus.

I think this Bean fellow is using the term “cancel culture” wrong, but his bit about the binary ‘them or us’ nature of the internet is still spot on. He also didn’t say anything especially egregious unless I’m too blindingly white to have seen all the words. I mean, pretentious? Maybe sure. But given the actually…

Apropos of Absolutely Nothing Of Course, there is another Cyborg who is not a hellscape of badly drawn CG nor is he only available in an, at best, mediocre spandex movie venture. Seriously, Doom Patrol is bloody-fucking-brilliant, the Cyborg in it is fantastic, and the show uses practical effects for him so he doesn’t…

Well, for that to have happened, you see, the folks making this show would have had to read that or at least remembered they read it, and based on that still of their version of Vimes... I am not sure that actually happened in any fashion at all.

In my experience covering games since the early 90s, nearly any and every (AAA) game that takes 7+ years to make is a shit show. I once sat in Ion Storm Dallas’ office in the 90s as the teams showed me all the games they were making. I think one came out of that hell hole, Daikatana, which remains one of my personal w…

Every time I hear WB putting another movie I want to see direct to HBOMax, I shudder. The service needs a drastic overhaul. The picture quality (especially for films, for whatever reason) is an abomination on any modern hardware. No 4K HDR, and just terrible unreliability made watching something like Invisible Man (a…
